The Polish Football Federation (PZPN) and the clubs that make up the country's top flight, or Ekstraklasa, have brought an end to 20 months of negotiations by agreeing a route forward for domestic football in Poland.

Having lost their opening two UEFA Cup Group F games against Rangers FC and Grazer AK, Polish competitors KS Amica Wronki are desperate for a win against AZ Alkmaar tonight to give them hope of reaching the knockout stage.

Górnik Zabrze are the only Polish team to have reached a European final, against Manchester City FC in the 1970 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, which they lost 2-1. They have also been national champions 14 times.

This game did not only decide Poland's fate in the 1974 FIFA World Cup qualifying tournament; it also represented a defining moment in the country's football history and to this day remains their most memorable international match.
